Product Information

We have 11 read-alikes for How to Make Friends with the Dark, but non-members are limited to two results. Maybe some day it could be a reality for someone you know, a friend, a family memeber or even yourself. it was heartfelt, real and powerful, but i felt no connection to the characters and i just wasn’t interested in the story; i had no desire to continue.

I find the bills by accident, stuffed underneath a pile of underwear in the dresser my mother and I share. honestly, i can’t think of any character i have so genuinely sympathized with so quickly, and i’ve got the author’s great writing to thank for that. I think most readers will find the immediate removal of any agency from the teenager just as jarring as Tiger herself does.i am fortunate enough to have only went through that twice with the passing of my grandparents, but i can’t and don’t want to imagine how much it must hurt to lose someone from your immediate family. The onslaught of grief and regret is so intimate that at times the novel feels claustrophobic, as if there is no escape. A rare and powerful novel…dives deep into the heart of grief and healing with honesty, empathy, and grace. I realize every person experiences grief differently, but Tiger's felt more than a little over-the-top. Christie posted: “I started reading Kathleen Glasgow’s YA novel How to > Make Friends with the Dark at school last week…and then all hell broke > loose.

this entire book is about tiger’s grief, so it’s not like you ever really get a break from it, so please keep that in mind if you decide you’d like to read this book! And for a book that says grief takes a lifetime, I don’t see why it thinks it must also FEEL like a lifetime to read about.

Insgesamt finde ich es sehr beeindruckend, wie gut Kathleen Glasgow das Innenleben traumatisierter Jugendlicher versteht und in Worte fassen kann. the government of New Brunswick closed all schools in the province for a two week period (minimum) in an effort to slow down the spread of Covid-19.

Tiger's mother may be overprotective, but it has always been Tiger and her mother against the world. When it would have been easy for Tiger to push Cake away or for Cake to disappear when things get hard and Tiger's emotions are messy, their friendship weathers the storm. Not only were we dealing with the tragic, unexpected death of a family member, we then had to deal with a homicide trial and far too much publicity. Kathleen Glasgow's novel How to Make Friends with the Dark beautifully explores the complexity, the isolation, the raw pain you feel when someone you love dies.

It's written mostly from the author's personal experience and I have so much respect and adoration for the author. Cred că pur și simplu m-a prins într-o pasă în care nu eram dispusă deloc să mă implic într-o dramă. There is no romance in this young adult contemporary, so be aware of that (some readers will be happy about it I guess)!
